More than 20 vehicles were damaged when an extra-alarm fire tore through the parking garage of an apartment building on the Near West Side Tuesday afternoon.
No injuries were reported in the fire, which began around 3:45 p.m. in the 700 block of South Ashland Avenue, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
The fire appeared to start in one car and quickly spread to other cars and the roof, prompting officials to call a 2-11 alarm to get more units to the scene, the fire department said.
A total of 22 vehicles were damaged, officials said.
The cause of the blaze was under investigation.
